Winter in Chicago

That old saw, that there are two seasons in Chicago—winter and construction—feels true when it’s 10 degrees below for a 10th consecutive day. But from our vantage point here at The Talbott, with the vibrant Gold Coast neighborhood just outside our doors, there’s something to be said for embracing the cold like a local. As that other saying goes, “When in Rome…”

Get lost in the archives of the nearby Newberry Library, bundle up for a walking tour of the beautiful historic houses in the area or log some serious shopping time along the Mag Mile. Other attractions like Lincoln Park Zoo, the Chicago Riverwalk and Cloud Gate in Millennium Park are an easy walk or cab ride away.

From internationally-esteemed museums to famous theaters, Chicago has it all.
